The haunted house



Everyone says that the old house at the end of the road is haunted. It used to be the residence of a
rich family but now none of them would stay there. So the house is vacant and uncared for. The
compound is filled with over-grown weed and grass.
My friend Jack and I decided to find out once and for all if what people said was true. So one
evening, we bravely entered the house and prepared to spend the night there. We brought along a
powerful torchlight, two sleeping-bags, some food and drinks, and a portable stereo set.
The early part of the night was no trouble at all. We sat on our sleeping-bags and listened to our
favourite music.
Twelve midnight came. We felt a bit sleepy. So we switched off the stereo set and crawled into
our sleeping-bags. However sleep was impossible. There seemed to be a heavy atmosphere
hanging around us. The darkness was oppressive and there was a strange soft whining noise
coming from upstairs.
We dared not go up to investigate the noise. So we lay quietly in our sleeping-bags and hoped
that the noise would go away. But it would not go away.
Actually it got louder and louder. Then it sounded like someone moaning. Jack hurried out of his
sleeping-bags and switched on the torchlight. We could see nothing except the walls of the
empty living room we were in.
Suddenly there was a loud crash from upstairs and the moans turned to screams. We screamed
too and ran out of the house as fast as we could, leaving behind everything that we had brought.
The hair on the back of my head stood on endfor hours afterwards.
We never dared to go back into the house, not even in the daytime. My uncle had to go
and retrieve the things we had left behind there.
So, is the house haunted ? All I can say is that if you want to know, go and find out for yourself.
